To a/ZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that We, JOHANN JACOB BEIL- MANN and ERNST LEVI, subjects ofthe Emperor of Germany, residing at Mannheim, in

A the Empire of Germany, have invented a new and Improved Holder forScrubbing-Brushes, (for which we have obtained a patent in Germany, No.57,323, bearing date November 11, 1890; in Austria-Hungary, Tom. 41,XXV, Fol. 561, 404, bearing date October 22, 1890; in Belgium, No.92,502, bearing date October 27, 1890; in France, No. 209,121, bearingdate October 25, 1890; in Great Britain, No. 17,269, bearing dateOctober 28, 1890, and in Switzerland, No. 2,989, bearing date December9, 1890,) of which the followingis a specification.

The object of this invention is a device for fixing scrubbing-brushes tothe stick, which is so arranged as to adapt itself to variablethicknesses of stick, as well as to variable widths of thescrubber-hole.

In the annexed drawings, Figures 1 and 2 are longitudinal sections ofthe device. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the same.

The improved device essentially consists of two tube-halves A and B,which are united or kept together by a loose pin a, passing through thetwo halves and having knobs at both eX- tremities. One of the two halvesis shorter than the other toward the bottom end and has connected withit by a hinge b another tubehalf O, extending as far as the largest halfA downwardly and adapted to be moved away in Gerfrom the latter by meansof a screw c, having its female thread in the said largest tube-half A.To connect the scrubber with the stick, the two tube-halves A C,adjoining each other at the bottom, are introduced into thescrubber-hole, said halvesbeing provided with teeth on the outside. Atthe same time the stick is put between the two tube-halves B A, facingeach other at the top, which halves are provided above with inner teethplaced on the surfaces lying opposite each other.

It is evident from the above description that by pressing apart by meansof the screw c the two tube-halves A C, introduced into the scrubber,the outer teeth of these halves are forced into the wood of thescrubber-hole. By the same screw-pressure the upper portion of thehinged tube-half Bis approached to the largest tube-half A, therebyclamping fast the stick. i

What we claim is- In a holder for scrubbing-brushes, the combination ofthe tube half A with the tubehalves B and C, connected by the hinge b,the screw c, and the loose pin a, uniting the tubeialvles A and B, asand for the purpose set ort JOHANN JACOB BEILMANN. ERNST LEVI.
